On the 249th Independence Day of the United States, skies across the country lit up with spectacular fireworks displays. From New York to Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, brilliant colors burst across the night sky in celebration of freedom and patriotism.

Macy’s Fireworks Show in New York City once again captured the spotlight, launching thousands of fireworks over the East River in a breathtaking visual feast. Crowds gathered hours in advance, with families and tourists filling parks and waterfronts for the best views.

In Washington, D.C., the festivities included the famous “A Capitol Fourth” concert and fireworks display. Fireworks exploded behind the Lincoln Memorial, creating a dramatic backdrop for the nation’s capital.

Bangladeshi-Americans and other immigrant communities also took part in the celebrations—some watching from rooftops, some on river cruises, and others enjoying with friends and family at community gatherings.

For millions, July 4th remains a symbol of unity, joy, and pride, celebrated with music, barbecues, parades, and of course, the grand fireworks that define the American spirit.
